This is great but if anyone has paid attention to this football team for the past 10 years or so, this is what they do. I got a kick out of those who were in panic mode, like the dismantling threads we kept seeing over and over. And all along I kept saying, the Steelers will restructure and get under the cap. And whoever they want to keep they will keep. And those they cut are those they didn't want.

I hope your not implying I'm in a panic? I just don't like them restructuring Woodley and adding to his dead cap hit in the future years.

The writing is on the wall for Wood this season. I don't expect to see a 270 pound Woodley and if we do see a 270 pound Woodley he's going to be in the best shape he's been in since being a Steeler. He can't afford to have another down season and I don't believe we'll see one from him. I expect him to be the player we want him to be, he just needs to stay healthy. I'm still trying to figure out why so many seem to just want to cast the guy off. It would be a huge mistake. He's a dynamic outside linebacker coming off a down year. (Injuries have certainly hindered his progress)

Yeah, I hope Woodley gets it together soon...he's been "dead weight" the last season and a half...we don't need a bigger "dead cap" hit that will keep us from cutting him if he continues to be "dead weight."

what a joke.
woodley took last season off and now your'e going to pay him even more upfront guaranteed money?
why in the world woulkd you want to give a guy a bonus for coming into camp out of shape and dogging it most of the year?
terrible restructure!

I know what you're saying but it's not a bonus.....it's a restructure to ease his cap hit. It's either do this or cut a player.

He gets NO additional money. He just gets a huge portion up front as opposed to each week.
